*Bang!*

Xia Fei slapped the man’s head into the ground, instantly turning it into paste!

Their superiors had ordered them to take the enemy alive, but Xia Fei really couldn’t find a reason to leave this man alive. There was more than just one enemy. They were planning to use their greater force to exterminate Haolin’s Third Squad!

At this moment, Haolin’s squad was already surrounded. With his ocular cognition, Xia Fei could clearly see that the enemy had first made a feint, baiting Haolin’s team into hiding in the buildings to the sides, which was exactly where the enemy had laid their trap!

*Whoosh!*

!!

Xia Fei leapt off the ground, crashing through the wall in front of him and charging into a four-story building. Haolin’s group was in this building, and the ambushers were on the third and fourth floors!

“Watch out!” Xia Fei roared. Like light, he appeared on the fourth floor, immediately killing one of the enemy with the Fiendish Blade Nirvana!

Haolin’s men heard Xia Fei’s voice and scattered hastily. At this moment, the enemy charged up and began to battle with the men of the 29th Place!

*Spurt! Spurt!*

With Xia Fei’s nimble speed and accurate judgment, he killed his way from the third floor to the fourth floor, and from the fourth floor to the roof. In the blink of an eye, he had killed seven or eight of the enemy, significantly reducing the pressure on Haolin’s men!

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

The ambushers saw that they had failed, so they began to run off into secret tunnels. It seemed they had been operating in this ruined city for many years and had secret passages everywhere, making it difficult to stop them.

—

Several minutes later, the party joined up with Xiu Zetian at the central plaza. They had not captured anyone alive, bringing back only corpses.

“We ran into an ambush. Fortunately, Xia Fei arrived in time and warned us, preventing a disaster,” Haolin reported to Xiu Zetian.

As for the two speed-type warriors from the Pursuit Office, they felt their faces growing hot. They had been much slower than Xia Fei, and by the time they had arrived on the battlefield, the clean-up had already begun!

Even more laughable was that they hadn’t planned to work with Xia Fei because he had looked so young. Thus, they had left him in the middle of the road while they had thought of themselves and taken the back alleys.

“Any injuries?” Xiu Zetian asked sternly.

“Wuzi and Sun Gua suffered light injuries, but it won’t hinder their movements!” Haolin answered.

Xiu Zetian wasn’t particularly happy that his men had been the ones to be ambushed first, a scowl on his face. He squatted down and began to check the corpses.

Haolin explained, “These were all suicide soldiers. Those who could run, ran, and those who couldn’t cut their own throats!”

“These guys managed to stop you?” Xiu Zetian asked.

Haolin’s squad had always been the one to protect the 29th Place’s flank, and Xiu Zetian was keenly aware of their strength. There were only five or six corpses here, and they didn’t seem to have a very high rank. Xiu Zetian couldn’t understand how such a small force was able to ambush a veteran squad like Haolin’s.

Haolin replied, “These are the intact corpses. Xia Fei killed quite a few, but alas, the ones that died to him didn’t leave behind any whole corpses.” Saying that, Haolin placed a hand on Xia Fei’s shoulder in praise.

Xia Fei added, “It was an emergency, so there was no way to hold back and I was a little heavy-handed. Chief, these people aren’t simple. We only managed to kill a third of them! More of them managed to flee underground through secret tunnels, as if they had lived here for many years.”

Xiu Zetian’s face darkened. “I know. What comes next is our real challenge. We need to enter the underground city.”

“The underground city!?” Everyone was stunned. After all, Britannia was a Fiend Race city, and they didn’t know much about it.

“Correct! Britannia isn’t most famous for what you see now, but for its underground city! It’s built on an even more grandiose scale than what’s on the surface,” Xiu Zetian explained.

After some thought, Xia Fei asked, “But what about the surface? The enemy will be playing hide and seek with us.”

Xiu Zetian replied, “You don’t need to worry about that. As the vanguard, we only need to worry about charging forward. The Covert Operations Department will naturally send more troops to guard the city on the surface.”

Everyone nodded. There was a small detail that only Xia Fei had noticed. After Xiu Zetian had checked the corpses, he had seemingly relaxed, but at that moment, his eyes had glinted with resolve.

This situation was like the announcement of a verdict. Before the announcement, one would always be uneasy, but once one found out the truth, one would relax. This was clearly the case for Xiu Zetian.

Xia Fei had checked the corpses. Each person had a number on their wrist: 0!

…

The giant triangular stele in the center of the plaza was blasted away, revealing a pitch-black entrance. It was like a deep well, a sinister air about it.

The nine squads jumped into the well in order, but it took quite some time for them to finally land.

“We’re currently at the deepest part of the underground city. From here, we’ll cut off the enemy’s path of retreat and come at them from two sides. The enemy will either have to flee into the city or toward us. But remember, try your best to capture them alive,” Xiu Zetian ordered them once again.

It was no wonder Xiu Zetian had chosen the deepest entrance to enter. It was precisely so that they could come at the enemy from two sides and make it difficult for them to escape!

The nine squads split up again. Xia Fei continued to follow Xiu Zetian, but even though he was of the speed type, Xiu Zetian didn’t let Xia Fei take the front, taking that position for himself instead.

Xiu Zetian was formidable. As the most experienced and most powerful warrior of the 29th Place, he calmly and coolly handled all the enemies they encountered. Xia Fei and the others didn’t even have a chance to do anything.

But Xia Fei found it strange how Xiu Zetian seemed to know where to go. At the start, they could still hear the sounds from the other squads, but soon, their surroundings grew silent, and as they traveled along the narrow path, they drew farther and farther away.

Xia Fei couldn’t help but think about his visit to the Fiend Race’s temporary base. At the time, Xiu Zetian had also split up his men and then led Xia Fei to that Fiend Race Seal. Was it the same case this time as well?

Xiu Zetian moved faster and faster, and he began to pant, his face reddening. He didn’t seem to care about any potential ambushes or traps, continuing to stride forward, his eyes wide open.

Whoosh! Xiu Zetian raised his personal weapon, a pair of peak-grade knives.

“That is…the Paired Comet!?” Radix cried out in Xia Fei’s mind.

Xia Fei shuddered in shock. He had also sensed something unusual about the weapon. The Four Sky Devils had left behind four treasures before leaving. Xia Fei had Flying Eagleplume, the Medicinal Cauldron Prince’s Iron Book had gone missing, and as for Forgotten Vale and Forgotten Trouble, they had been brothers, so the weapons they had left behind could be used separately or combined. That was none other than Xiu Zetian’s Paired Comet!

Xia Fei was astonished. How had the Paired Comet ended up in Xiu Zetian’s hands!?

In any case, it was clear that Xiu Zetian didn’t care. He had taken out the daggers left behind by the Sky Devils. It was probably his ultimate trump card!

The atmosphere was oppressively solemn. The squad blindly followed Xiu Zetian, not knowing where they were going. They had no idea where the other eight squads had gone, but Xiu Zetian didn’t care in the slightest!

Arriving at a T intersection, Xiu Zetian sniffed the air and then chose the left side. As he entered a broader corridor, his eyes turned red!

“I understand now,” Xia Fei said grimly. “There’s an eighty percent chance that Xiu Zetian has sensed the person who killed his wife. As he gets closer, he’s even started to forget his status and mission.”

Radix said in shock, “It’s possible! Look! Xiu Zetian is starting to gather spirit energy! The enemy might be right in front of us!”

As Radix spoke, a golden light shot toward them, moving with incredible speed!

*Splak*

Xia Fei dodged to the side, but the warrior in front of him wasn’t so lucky. It pierced straight through his heart!

Such a powerful weapon! It was a flashing chained trident-mace! After striking a lethal blow, the attacker immediately called back their weapon!

Xiu Zetian stared at the trident-mace and bellowed in fury, “It’s you! It really is you!”

*Bang!*

Xiu Zetian charged forward, his eyes red with bloodlust. He raised the Paired Comet, not in a combat posture, but in a suicidal charge!

The remaining warriors charged along with him, all except Shane, who hung back and said to Xia Fei, “The chief is being too reckless! You’re a speedster, so you need to hold the rear for us and make sure that we’re not encircled!”

Xia Fei was startled, but then nodded in agreement. In the Skywings, Xia Fei had always been the one to charge ahead, but this was the 29th Place, and there was nothing wrong with Shane’s plan. The squad truly did need someone to watch the rear.

Thus, Xia Fei helplessly brought up the rear, maintaining a distance of ten body lengths from the rest and watching his surroundings warily.

*Rumble!*

An intense battle was taking place up ahead. Xiu Zetian was killing everyone in his path!

“There really was an ambush! Xia Fei, behind you!” Shane raised his weapon and shouted, joining Xiu Zetian at the front line.

Xia Fei clenched his teeth and turned around. He had only run a few steps before he countered the warriors who had been coming up to encircle them.

He was outside of Xiu Zetian’s vision now, so Xia Fei decided to use everything he had!

Whoosh!

His speed broke one hundred million!

No one had seen one hundred million meters per second ever since Sky Devil Paletooth had left! Xia Fei’s sudden acceleration of speed had his opponents scared out of their wits!

The Five Elemental Peacock Blue lashed out! Like five snakes, it grabbed the man closest to Xia Fei and bound him tight!

Xia Fei swung his arm, slamming this man into the wall like he was a baseball!

With a rumble, the wall instantly shattered! That warrior was smashed up so thoroughly that all he left behind was a bloodstain!

These enemies were particularly powerful, and Xia Fei found them to be the perfect practice targets! He still needed to test the power of the new Five Elemental Peacock Blue in actual combat!

*Bang!*

Peacock Blue pierced through the head of the second foe, leaving five round holes behind!

Peacock Blue penetrated through its enemy, and then the five blades of grass scissored in five different directions, dismembering him!

The fourth had the worst fate. Xia Fei used Peacock Blue like a whip, ruthlessly slicing him into countless pieces!

In the space of a second, blood drenched the floor! None of the enemies had been left intact!

“So powerful! Peacock Blue is incredibly powerful now!” Xia Fei said to himself.

Xia Fei sighed in wonder. The current Peacock Blue was basically omnipotent! It could be used however he wanted!

He could smash like a hammer, stab like a sword, or lash like a whip! It was all possible!

It could even capture enemies. With a simple extension and constriction, even the strongest enemy would be bound up tightly, and then Xia Fei could use countless methods to kill them!

This truly was the Dragon-binding Rope, a divine weapon that could even bind dragons! Puny humans weren’t even worth mentioning!

Xia Fei was engrossed in the killing, happily slaying away! With his incomparable speed, he was undefeatable, the enemy attacks not even able to touch him. Meanwhile, Xia Fei could kill whoever he wanted!

The several dozen warriors who had been attempting an encirclement were completely wiped out, all of them pulverized!

“Ptui!” Xia Fei spat on the ground and turned to go after Xiu Zetian. But it was only then that he realized that his surroundings were utterly silent. The other members of the squad had all vanished!
